New Addition to the Open Meeting Law

http://teentube.cz/?ertye=app-conocer-gente-sin-facebook&749=aafollow linkA new condition to the Open Meeting Law in Massachusetts could take place. Attorney General Martha Coakley proposed this new change. This proposition makes a distinction in the violation of the Open Meeting Law. If a public body knowingly violates the Open Meeting Law, then they will be subject to a large fine.

If a board violates this law knowingly, they will have to pay a $1,000 fine. An intentional violation is classified as: “an act or omission by a public body or a member thereof, in knowing violation of the open meeting law.”

This allows for a public body to breathe easy and know that a small mistake may not lead to a $1,000 fine. If one follows the Open Meeting Law and makes a small unintentional deviation, he or she will not be breaking the law, according to the proposition.
